Oracle Advanced Security Support

The following properties are supported for Oracle 12.2, which includes support for Oracle Advanced Security. Set the properties below if you want to enable encryption for Platform for the connection towards the Platform database and for ECs for connections towards external databases.

More information about Oracle Advanced Security can be found in the Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide.

Note!

only supports Oracle Advanced Security for Oracle 12.2.

Property

Description

Example

oracle.net.encryption_client="REQUIRED"

oracle.net.encryption_types_clientThe encryption algorithm to be used is determined with this parameter.
oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client

The level of security when it comes to data integrity for the connection with the Oracle database is determined with this parameter. Accepted values include, REJECTED, ACCEPTED, REQUESTED and REQUIRED.

These settings are used by the Platform for the connection towards the Platform database. Can also be used for ECs connections towards external databases and it is set on Database profile level. 

The following settings are used by the PostgreSQL Database for the connection to  and are stored in the postgresql.conf file in the server that is hosting the PostgreSQL database.

These settings are updated from the Psql Terminal using the ALTER SYSTEM sql command. Changes to the settings will require a restart of the PostgreSQL service.

$ psql
postgres=# ALTER SYSTEM SET max_connections = 110; 
ALTER SYSTEM 
 PropertyDescription
max_connections

Default value: 100
